After installation, you'll need to activate AutoCAD 2015 using a valid license:
2016 introduced the “Migrate Custom Settings” tool and enhanced PDF import. But 2015 is actually more stable on older hardware. No major performance gain in 2016 unless you need better point cloud support.
: Instead of choosing blocks or styles by name from a list, the ribbon displays visual galleries with accurate thumbnails, letting you "see" the block or dimension style before inserting it.
(e.g., 2026 back to 2023). Older versions like AutoCAD 2015 are no longer officially distributed for free by Autodesk, except through specific channels like: Education Community
